OK, I double checked and found some mirrors. ftp.gnu.org seems to be in
constant overload mode, so that might be the reason.

I'm talking about this:

I just suggest to put a blank page un there (or a redirect if it's
possible) with a link to http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/.

I completely agree.

See above "http://ddd.sourceforge.net/";. And I also suggest to possibly
have the *.tgz available at sourceforge (under
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7500 which is linked
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddd)

These are just suggestion to make it easier to find stuff for users that
need to download the latest release or need info about ddd in general.
But I've been waisting your time enough already so if you feel like it's
irrelevant and/or too much time spent on nonsense then please > /dev/null
this whole discussion.

Greets and many thanks,
